Abstract

Disclosed are a positioning and measurement reporting method and apparatus, used for implementing a solution regarding UE positioning in a 5G NR system. The present application provides a positioning method, comprising: determining a measurement configuration message of a user equipment (UE), the measurement configuration message comprising UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information; sending the measurement configuration message to the UE to instruct the UE to report the measurement; and positioning the UE on the basis of the measurement result reported by the UE.

Claims (43)

1 . A positioning method, comprising:

determining a measurement configuration message of a User Equipment, UE, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information;

sending the measurement configuration message to the UE to instruct the UE to perform measurement and reporting;

positioning the UE based on a measurement result reported by the UE.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Synchronization Signal block, SS block, configuration information.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the SS block configuration information comprises SS block configuration information of neighboring cells.

4 . The method according to claim 2 or 3 , wherein the measurement result comprises: Reference Signal Received Power of SS Blocks, SS-RSRP, and/or Time Difference of Arrival of SS blocks, SS-TDOA.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the measurement result further comprises:

a cell identity and/or an SS block time index, corresponding to the SS-RSRP.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Channel State Information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS, configuration information.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the measurement result comprises one or a combination of:

Reference Signal Received Power of Channel State Information, CSI-RSRP, and CSI-RS index;

and

Time Difference of Arrival, TDOA, of CSI-RSs.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration message and/or the measurement result is/are transmitted by a radio resource control protocol message or a 5G positioning protocol message.

9 . A measurement reporting method, comprising:

obtaining a measurement configuration message of a User Equipment, UE, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information;

performing a measurement according to the measurement configuration message and reporting a measurement result.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Synchronization Signal block, SS block, configuration information.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the SS block configuration information comprises SS block configuration information of neighboring cells.

12 . The method according to claim 10 or 11 , wherein the measurement result comprises:

Reference Signal Received Power of SS Blocks, SS-RSRP, and/or Time Difference of Arrival of SS blocks, SS-TDOA.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the measurement result further comprises:

a cell identity and/or an SS block time index, corresponding to the SS-RSRP.

14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Channel State Information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS, configuration information.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the measurement result comprises one or a combination of:

Reference Signal Received Power of Channel State Information, CSI-RSRP, and CSI-RS index;

and

Time Difference of Arrival, TDOA, of CSI-RSs.

16 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the measurement configuration message and/or the measurement result is/are transmitted by a radio resource control protocol message or a 5G positioning protocol message.

17 - 32 . (canceled)

33 . A positioning apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to read programs in a memory to perform a process of:

determining a measurement configuration message of a User Equipment, UE, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information;

sending the measurement configuration message to the UE via a transceiver to instruct the UE to perform measurement and reporting;

positioning the UE based on a measurement result reported by the UE;

the transceiver configured to receive and send data under control of the processor.

34 . The apparatus according to claim 33 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Synchronization Signal block, SS block, configuration information.

35 - 40 . (canceled)

41 . A measurement reporting apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to read programs in a memory to perform a process of the method of claim 9 .

42 . The apparatus according to claim 41 , wherein the UE-level measurement reference signal configuration information particularly comprises: Synchronization Signal block, SS block, configuration information.

43 - 48 . (canceled)
